- Shock Dampening Action: Shocker air trailer tongue mount effectively absorbs the jerking, tugging and damaging forces experienced with a typical hard connection when towing trailers. There is no reason to beat yourself or your equipment up with a hard connection between your trailer and your receiver hitch.
- Simple Pivot Design: uses a rocker arm pivot design which produces a down and back motion, much different than other air ride products on the market. Our design eliminates the need for slides, parallel linkages, rollers, shock absorbers, or multiple air bags common to other air hitches.
- Saves Money: By reducing trailer breakage on both the trailer and the trailer contents! The Shocker airbag tongue mount absorbs the damaging forces experienced with a typical hard connection. This greatly reduces the chances of breaking welds and doing other long term damage to your equipment as well as the valuable cargo you have inside the truck and trailer.
Note: The main pivot bolt, or center pivot bolt, used in the Shocker Air Ride Bolt Tongue Mount is a custom made 1 inch diameter 1045 medium carbon steel bolt. Heat treated to prevent wear & has machined grease passage for easy lubrication. The yield strength of the 1″ pivot bolt exceeds the two 5/8″ bolts used to hold the typical ball coupler on the average vertical channel adapter.

California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
Where has this been all my life?
I bought this channel mount air ride tongue hitch for one of our roll-off dumpster trailers. when the trailer has no dumpster loaded, it is extremely tongue heavy, with no weight on the rear axles it absolutely Hammers our truck! with concrete highways the truck and trailer would get a rhythm and it would start jackhammering the back of the truck you have to slow down.
this hitch solved 90% of that problem, the truck and trailer can never get in that chucking, and bouncing Rhythm. This hitch takes care of the Lion’s Share of the uncomfortable bouncing when empty, and the loaded ride is just like a pillow! my only regret is that I waited so long the purchase it!!!
I am now going to purchase one for every darn trailer that we have.
